Well tomorrow is the Marines birthday, not sure if there is a Marine comic moment out there somewhere for you to find(for the record Marine Corps birthday is the 10th in case the tomorrow is too vague)

Us former(there is no such thing as ex-) Marines would appreciate it if you did find one(or not we would understand)

great series(year of cool comic book moments that is) by the way, I just wished it didn’t have to end.

Three more? I was hoping for a Sgt. Rock moment on Wednesday…you know, Veteran’s Day?

Doesn’t have to be consecutive moments.

Stealthwise, ya got me. I stopped reading these New Frontier posts after the second or third and just kinda scan them now, since I don’t want to have too much given away before I go out and buy it one of these days.

Honestly, I always preferred JLA #144 (http://ourworlds.topcities.com/blackhawk/media/jla144.html)

Re-reading this sequence makes me ship Jimmy and Wonder Woman

And I love the way Cooke draws the Martian Manhunter in his non-human form – I wish he always looked like that, his normal appearance is too goofy!

3 more for New Frontier, eh? Ok. I’ll deal. But then I throw a gauntlet-How about some cool Star Wars moments? Marvel or Dark Horse, I’m easy either way. What say you?

Can I make a pitch for Robinson’s Golden Age series to get some cool moments? I mean, New Frontier was the thematic (albeit not official) sequel to that series, so I’d love to see the original get some nods as well.

JoeMac, he says above, at the very beginning, that there are only 3 left to go.

Personally, I hope that if we’re going to continue in the vein of superhero stories that we get 15 All-Star Superman moments next.

Okay, okay, I’ll go buy New Frontiers. You convinced me already. Sheesh. Are you going to close out the entire year with New Frontier moments, or are you almost ready to wrap them up?

@Michael

As someone who loves “A Year of Cool Comic Book Moments” for the chance to get exposed to really great stuff I may have missed the first time around, having 15 days straight featuring the same 6 issue limited series is getting kind of old.

J’onn is at his early Silver Age best here. Too bad about Faraday, though. I’ve always liked him and hate seeing a cool character die in any continuity.

I did like Diana’s “hola!” That was fun.

Only 3 more? Thank god.

New Frontier was passable for me, but no more.

Wait, back up… there are people who *don’t* like the New Frontier moments?

Tough call. They’re both great, but I’d have to give the edge to Martian Manhunter. Just barely, though.
